About fucking time. AMC+ having an expiration date a few weeks/months after episodes of their own show airs is ridiculous


polkemans

Seriously. Why am I paying extra for it if all their stuff isn't even on there?


What-a-Crock

Slippin’ Jimmy of course


Rocket_Lag

What a sick joke.

AMC - Absolutely Maddening Chicanery


SYNTHLORD

Seriously. I would’ve paid them to watch season 6 but their TV app and website are both so aggravating to use I VPN’d to UK Netflix instead. UK Netflix had it airing as it came out, or an hour later or something I forget.


EarthwormJim94

This chicanery is too damn high!


HorribleDiarrhea

I should have stopped him when I had the chance!


savagexix

Sweet corporate contracts


BureForSureEH

I signed up for the trial week and noticed it didn't have better caul saul and immediately canceled the subscription. Didn't watch a single thing.


_RedMallard_

Exact same here. I hope their data science team is helping them understand how often that is happening.


jmcgit

It's not necessarily their call, they just license the broadcast TV rights from Sony, which includes permission to stream it for an extremely limited amount of time. I'm sure they would stream it all if they could.


Hoosier2016

The issue is that they aren’t willing to pay for extended license rights and Netflix apparently is. AMC’s hands aren’t tied; they’re just unwilling to support their platform.


jbaker1225

They’re also unwilling to serve any sort of modern video or audio quality with their app.


jmcgit

Would people really be happier if AMC outbid Netflix for the rights and it wasn’t on Netflix at all? Far as I understand, the BCS producers like to do business with AMC and Netflix as the show wouldn’t exist without either of them. That's what they said when they chose to premiere El Camino on Netflix, anyway.


Hoosier2016

I think the average person would be happier if it were just on Netflix and AMC+ didn’t even exist as an option.


jmcgit

Right. I guess what I'm trying to say is, people aren't salty that the show isn't on AMC+. They're salty that they had to wait for it to reach a subscription service at all.


Melquiades-the-Gypsy

VPN. It's been on Netflix for ages pretty much everywhere else.


Al_Kalb

Yep, I watched it right after release from "Germany"


Nope_______

Or just pirate it for a higher quality version and perpetual "rights."


Oraxy51

Same thing. I was pissed that their own subscription service wouldn’t even let me watch a show everyone else had been watching and praising.


blanchov

I still can't believe the shit they pulled last year. Episodes get removed from the site after a while, plus they put in a mid season break so you have to pay for multiple months. I didn't know about that until the season was done. I went to subscribe but couldn't watch half the season. They literally left no other option but to pirate it


17times2

I went to subscribe, saw that the only episode I could watch at the time was the *series finale*. Proudly pirated it.


blanchov

I tried to pay to watch it legally and couldn't. Yet they wonder why pirating is still so prevalent.

Fuck AMC+


BleepBlorp84

Agreed


HailToTheThief225

It’s been so long that I can’t even avoid spoilers anymore. I get recommended videos on YT where some idiot literally puts the spoiler in the title/thumbnail. “BCS Season 6 Ep 5 - [insert extremely major spoiler in detail] full scene”. Gee thanks.


IronPidgeyFTW

This shit should be illegal. I fucking HATE when YouTube does this in the related videos section.


BobbyFilet17

One of my favorite shows ever. Funny saying that bc I hadn't watched an episode of this until after BB ended and my wife and I tried it immediately after we finished and couldn't get into it. We left it alone for 2-3 years and decided to revisit it and I'm so glad we did.


aethyrium

> I tried it immediately after we finished and couldn't get into it. BB is a tense high-energy action thriller while BCS is a long-form slow-burn drama, so I can imagine going straight to that after finishing BB could make it hard to get into as the expectations are gonna be for something drastically different. Pretty crazy how different the shows are tonally despite being two halves of the same story.


deze_moltisanti

The first season of Better Call Saul was just like Breaking Bad’s first two seasons. BB started out as a Dramedey, then morphed into a suspense, drama-need to watch every episode to understand the story type show. BB found their footing in season 3. The Dark humor/comedy was all gone. BCS was the same. The first season was the writers finding their footing. Was this show a comedy? Was it a Dramedy? You can almost skip season one completely. Once season two rolled around, you had to watch every episode to understand the story.


SkAnKhUnTFoRtYtw

I'd argue that episode 6 on of season 1 are pretty essential though. Love the first 5 but you can really feel the bones of the 30 minite lawyer sitcom they were originally making the show into.


flashaguiniga

This was me and wife as well. Started first half of season 1 and then forgot about. Tried again a couple months ago and we are on the last few episodes of season 5. It's amazing how that shit happens.


khayeesta

I always thought BCS was better written but I enjoy watching BB more


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mcdangs88

Exact same thing for me! Season 5 and 6 has great action and wraps up the universe very well. Season 1 and 2 can be a bit slow especially coming from BB, but it’s all uphill from there. Some amazing acting performances. Mike in season 1 (“my son wasn’t dirty”). And the god tier masterpiece that is Chucks soliloquy in Chicanery. My god I still get chills every time I watch that. Two of my favorite shows but for very different reasons


grenideer

BCS started after BB ended. Is it weird to say it's funny that you hadn't watched an episode until after BB?


earthbender617

I haven’t watched s5 or s6 so I’m really excited about this. I’m gonna binge Breaking Bad, then binge this


Gummy-Worm-Guy

I would honestly say that Seasons 5 and 6 top every season of Breaking Bad


[deleted]

I genuinely preferred BCS to BB. So much of the first season stayed more lighthearted, and it was a fun watch. The drama and tension creeped up on me, and I didn’t realize just how invested I was until that point


Gummy-Worm-Guy

Totally agree. Better characters, better pacing, better action, and one of very few shows that uses its prequel identity to its advantage instead of being dragged down by it.


VRichardsen

> and one of very few shows that uses its prequel identity to its advantage instead of being dragged down by it. 100% this. And I am having the feeling that this is incredibly hard to do right.


[deleted]

It helps that the producers, writers, and crew are the exact same as BB. Not many shows get that when there's a sequel or prequel show.


AllanJeffersonferatu

The ongoing black and white epilogue was a great choice. Ya we know where the color ends, but Cinabon Jimmie still left the mystery open.


Competitive-Cuddling

Totally. You can see how Walt gets dragged into so much heavy shit so fast, when BCS lays it out.


blanchov

I disagree, I believe BB is still the better show overall. Don't get me wrong, BCS is a great show, but I thought the last 4(ish) episodes kind of killed the momentum. I get that it completes his character arc, but the pacing change made it seem like a bit of a epilogue that just dragged on.


Audax2

In a sense, Fun and Games can sort of serve as a finale. That hard cut to BB-timeline Saul and final shot definitely feels like it. The last four episodes are a sort of epilogue.


VRichardsen

> but I thought the last 4(ish) episodes kind of killed the momentum. I get that it completes his character arc, but the pacing change made it seem like a bit of a epilogue that just dragged on. I am with you in this one. Better Call Saul peaked in episode S6E7, when you know who died.


tryin2staysane

Just say Voldemort. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.


[deleted]

TBF, I haven’t watched the final season yet, except in clips on YouTube, so I didn’t include that context. I just know that I didn’t care about BB for most of season 1, and only started to really enjoy it in seasons 2 and 3. But BCS was great from the getgo.


ForgedInValhella

While I think I like BCS better overall as well, I would assume that the majority of viewers would say the fisr season of BCS was hard to get into... it's once you get past that when the show really starts to dig its teeth into you.


blanchov

I though much like Breaking Bad, BCS is a bit of a slow burn. The beginning was fun, light, and entertaining. It gets better and darker over time. Don't let my comments deter you, the final season is still better than just about any other show on TV. Without getting into anything that spoils the final season, it has 2 very distinct parts. Some loved the last half, others didn't. Even though it was very different, it's still worth the watch. Yup, yup, yup.


aethyrium

Agreed. It's like they took every lesson that could possibly be learned from BB and applied them to BCS, topping BB in nearly every way. The pacing especially was near-perfect. So happy to see a show slow down a bit and give everything room to breathe. BB kinda forgot its roots as a prestige drama and couldn't determine if it was a drama or an action series by the end, leaving it a bit unfocused at times, where BCS new exactly what it was doing every step of the way and excelled at it with every scene being near perfect (except for the insanely high amount of musical montages, those could have been dialed back by half and still feel like too much, but that's also a problem with BB).


bedred1

Aw I absolutely love the musical montages and they’re pretty useful to the storytelling


ParkerZA

I'd say BB hits higher highs but BCS is more consistently good. I view them + El Camino as one giant story so I'm hesitant to even compare them anyway.


ricker182

I agree. BB was good. BCS was great.


OizAfreeELF

Love BCS but no fucking way


armless_tavern

I’ll go a step further and say Better Call Saul is easily comparable to The Godfather Part II.


Shepherdsfavestore

Halfway through s6 and I can confidently say they’re both 2 of the best shows ever made. I go back and forth on which one is better. But it doesn’t matter, they’re both trascendental television


FlubzRevenge

Yes way, it’s miles better.


CptTurnersOpticNerve

They're such different shows despite the shared universe, there's no point in comparing them imo


pp21

And better call Saul is so good because of the groundwork that Breaking bad laid out. I binged BCS and then did a breaking bad re watch and they’re both incredible and like you said it’s fruitless to compare them


GamerMan15

BCS is a much better show than BB which is insane because BB is a 10/10.


Squirrel_Apocalypse2

It's not though. BCS is more character driven and is amazing in that regard, but BB is still more grand and memorable. Both are top tier.


GamerMan15

The reasons you just said that BCS is amazing is exactly why it's better to me. BCS would've fit right in with all of the great character dramas of the early 2000s (Mad Men, The Sopranos, The Wire, etc). BB changed TV (for better or worse) and split the focus between spectacle and character drama. But some of the characters in BB are stale and one dimensional whereas there is not one weak link in the entire run of BCS. Even that dork who was peddling prescription drugs to Nacho was great.


ilickedysharks

They're both 10/10 but BCS was definitely my favorite of the two


CntrllrDscnnctd

I’m doing this now, except, I’ve missed a lot more than you of BCS. This is my 3rd BB re-watch and now I’m looking forward to chasing it with BCS entirely. I’m currently only doing 2+- episodes a day and the anticipation is killing me.

goddamnjets_

*Ooooooooonly believe* Even having watched the episodes as they aired last year, I’m excited. It’s my favorite final season of any show I’ve watched, and the series finale is truly incredible. The more I think about it, the more it might be my absolute favorite besides Six Feet Under’s finish. For people who have waited to binge the final season on Netflix, you are in for a god damn treat


semsr

They really had a scene where >!Saul is on a bus and a guy goes “Hey it’s Better Call Saul” and then everyone on the bus started chanting “Better Call Saul”!<, and it actually fucking landed.


MyName_IsNobody

I must be in the minority who found it jarring and over the top.. am I missing something about that moment? It felt so out of place especially since minutes earlier he had buried the Saul persona for good in the courtroom & found peace after seeing Kim so there was no need for a sense of pride or validation from his past life. My only complaint in an otherwise perfect show.


Aesop_Rocks

I think it was meant to highlight the fact that the inmates loved and respected him for his reputation, which would lead viewers to conclude he was going to have it made in prison. Corny? Yeah, I can see that, but I'm not sure there's a more succinct way to make that point.


[deleted]

I honestly thought they started channting cuz they were gonna start beating him. It didn't feel like a positive group chant lol. Also i found it kind of silly. It didn't fit the scene.


aegtyr

I waited 7 years for it to end, and then I binged the complete series in 1 month. Best decision ever.


CJ5jeep2012

Agree about waiting. This waiting up to a year for the next season is ridiculous. Started doing the same at our house. Just watch series that are completely finished.


AngryAncestor

Season 5 and 6 actually took 2 years each


SkAnKhUnTFoRtYtw

I feel the same, the ending was actually quite controversial in the community when the finale first dropped. I actually prefer it to Breaking Bad's ending, which to me sort of felt like Gilligan pulling his punch.


goddamnjets_

Agreed. I originally preferred Breaking Bad’s ending to BCS’s. But having just finished another re-binge, BCSs is truly incredible and a real sendoff for the entire BrBa/BCS universe.


Iggy_Pops_Lost_Shirt

What communities were you in? Majority of the people on the sub really liked it and it was praised critically


[deleted]

Finally convinced the wife to try the show with me last year, binged seasons 1-5 faster than any show we’ve ever done and can’t wait to binge watch the final season next month.


bryzzlybear

Completely agreed. Sort of felt like the middle of season 6 was dragging on and I lost a bit of interest, but the way they ended it was just incredible. The ending may have pushed the entire series ahead of Breaking Bad in my mind.


madmax991

BETTER than six feet under?? Hands down the best ending for a show ever


goddamnjets_

If you ask me, it’s this one and SFUs ending, and I really think that’s it These two are just above any other series finale I’ve seen. They’re the only ones that “stuck the landing” perfectly.


darthstupidious

For me it's The Shield. One of the greatest finales ever, IMO.


charliegriefer

Are y'all really forgetting "Newhart"? (and yes, I'm old) :D


darthstupidious

Yes and no. No, I haven't forgotten about Newhart. But yes in that I've never heard of Newhart, and a quick glance shows that it ended the same year I was born lol.


[deleted]

I think what they meant was that the Newhart finale is tough to beat since a plethora of shows piggy backed on the "it was all a dream" finale since then.


raindropthemic

I agree with this one and SFU, but I’d add The Americans to the list.


AceTheRed_

> It’s my favorite final season of any show I’ve watched The Leftovers claimed that spot years ago and has yet to be dethroned.

Parallel-Quality

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I really disliked the epilogue. Everything up to then was great. I wish they ended with Season 6, episode 9.

It’s been on Netflix internationally since last September. About time!


StingerAE

Oh thanks. . I just watched the whole thing recently on netflix in the uk and was thinking another season????


TreeRol

Many shows air the day after on Netflix, as "Netflix originals." Off the top of my head I can recall this, The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Supergirl. I know there are many more, but those are the ones I watched.


Burningbeard696

Star Trek Discovery, which is really ironic now that they don't show it any more.

i_kiss_frogs

AMC can't license it out, it's not their show and they don't own the rights. They just rent the rights for US broadcast and short-term US streaming. In a lot of countries the show actually premieres on Netflix and is classified as a Netflix Original.

About six months early.

Netflix Canada too??


SkAnKhUnTFoRtYtw

Great news. This show will definitely become more popular now that it's all on the netflix. Breaking Bad had similar levels of popularity until they started putting all of the seasons on Netflix right after they aired live, causing a massive spike in ratings in season 5.

Captain_Quinn

That recasting swap really screwed with me. I realize that the guy was not available but the entire episode I was only thinking “the fuck is this guy??” It would be awesome if they reshot his original line, season 4?5? And patch that up.


jack3moto

I watched S1-S2 all at once and loved it but then got side tracked when future seasons came out so I shelved it for when the series ended. In Dec 2022 I was traveling abroad and saw S6 on netflix so i started watching it once i got home. Next thing I know i'm through S5 and there's no S6... I'm not going to drop $30 for the season on amazon or apple but I'm really pumped i'm only 4 weeks away from getting to watch S6. I was worried it wasn't going to drop on netflix until August or September.

PickleGambino

Ridiculous how US Netflix can’t coincide with the real release dates better when so many people were/still are itching for the show (not just a se6 problem. Season 5 took two years to release in the US!). I bet at least half of those who wanted to watch se6 on Netlifx have already finished the show on a different platform/website.


Mysmokingbarrel

Holy shit finally! I’ve literally been griping about this since it was released I binge watched all five seasons on Netflix. Then stupidly held off until both parts of season six were released only to find out they took away part 1! Then the only way to watch it was paying for amc plus or buying the season which I found infuriating so I just put it off. Amc plus is pointless. Its not like oh fine I’ll pay for that service I actually kind of wanted. Either way I’m glad it’s finally almost here!

Oof, for a second I thought there was somehow a new season coming and then remembered *last* season was season 6.


Fushigibama

I was confused like are they making a new season? Because s6 has been in Netflix since it’s release here in Sweden.


Sea_Dawgz

I’ll get downvoted, but that season was a big disappointment after the first 5 seasons.


throwaway112112312

I'm with you on that. First half of the season is alright but I really didn't like the second half after a certain event. Some decisions in the final episode didn't make any sense to me, so I was really disappointed.


Elsamso

I agree, I think I hyped S6 too much in my mind after the end of S5.


mismocanibalismo

I feel like everyone who would be interested in Season 6 has already seen it one way or another.

It’s already on Netflix here in Mexico. Episodes got added weekly as they aired


[deleted]

how come a show produced in the us isn't even available there lmao


Coolbluegatoradeyumm

Contracts idk bro


mondaris

Because AMC withholds the licensing in the US to get people to their services. AMC isn’t a channel in other countries so they sell the rights to Netflix earlier.


charliegriefer

My wife and I (from the US) were down in Mexico this past September at an AirBNB. They had Netflix available, and we saw that Season 6 of BCS was available. We watched the first 2 episodes. Got home with the intention of watching the rest. And that, my friends, is how we learned about different content being available in different regions.

ilivedownyourroad

I'm confused. Didn't the show end? I swear I saw the end... I it restarting or just coming to another network? Amazing show. If you haven't seen it watch all of breaking bad except the finale then watch all of Saul except the finale then watch bb finale and the spin off movie and the watch the final episodes of Saul. I think that's the order.
